Where to watch the 2019 Super Bowl

This Sunday marks the 2019 Super Bowl and if you’re wondering where to catch the action, there are plenty of places that will be airing it. The big game will start at 4:30 p.m., which is fortunate because you can still get a good amount of skiing and riding in before kick off. One thing you’ll notice, the slopes tend to empty out during the afternoon with many people leaving to get ready for super bowl parties at their homes or elsewhere.

Even if you don’t feel like you have a creative bone in your body, you can still learn the skills needed to release your creative side. Instruction and all the materials are provided, including adult beverages. They offer wine and beer by the glass for $6 each. Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks will be available as well. The event goes from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
